A day trip into the past
The value of age-old crafts | Those interested in brewing history usually have to conjure up notions of what it would be like to brew beer in the “foreign country of the past” from old and dusty tomes (or their digital facsimiles) which at times contain only vague written references to exactly what went on in the brewery. However, there is a place where it is possible to spend the day in a brewhouse working with tools from the early 1700s. The authors were able to experience this for themselves at a working replica of a 300-year-old brewery, a mere day trip from Munich.
